Also earning nods in multiple coveted categories was Spike Lee’s “BlacKkKlansman,” which is up for outstanding cast performance as well. Star John David Washington is nominated for best actor, while his co-star Adam Driver is up for best supporting actor.

“Black Panther,” “Crazy Rich Asians” and “Bohemian Rhapsody” round out the field for outstanding cast performance on the movie side.

Meanwhile, “Ozark,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and “A Handmaid’s Tale” each received at least three nominations in the TV categories.

“Ozark” is up for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series, while stars Jason Bateman (outstanding male performance in a drama series), Laura Linney and Julia Garner (both up for outstanding female performance) were also nominated.

“I’m so excited for the whole OZARK family — but particularly for Laura and Julia. Their talent and leadership drives our every episode. Thank you, from all of us, to the SAG voters!” Bateman said in a statement.

The annual award show often provides a window into what the Academy Awards nominations will look like. Last year, 15 actors nominated for SAG awards were among the 20 actors nominated for an Oscar.
